The sacrifice of two M(fighters) was not without effect.
Thanks to them, Arturia was temporarily freed from the monster's shackles and fell to Chen Xiaofeng's side.
"Artoria..."
Chen Xiaofeng greeted worriedly.
"Well... I'm fine." Artoria said through gritted teeth, and then chuckled.
Said somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Sure enough, life here has made me weak... It's just a sea monster that makes me so strenuous. Sure enough, I'm not suitable to be a leader..."
Chen Xiaofeng frowned, he was worried that Artoria would lose its will to fight.
"But...it would be really unpleasant if I didn't defeat this guy...I was asked to pose like that just now!"
Arturia tightened her grip on the sword.
"Okay, Lily, it's time for me to see your glorious value as a heroic spirit. Use your best sword skills!"
Needless to say, Artoria also had this intention. She silently turned her gaze back to the river, grasped the golden sword again and took a stance.
Two innocent lives have been involved in this fight.
Arturia will never forgive such a thing.
All obstacles must be removed.
This moment is the time for the decisive battle.
The radiance of the holy sword dispersed the thick fog that shrouded the river.
First, a strange shadow covered the sky like a mirage, and then the entity appeared. A huge and ominous body clearly appeared in front of the two people.
Compared to when it was shrouded in thick fog, the monster at this moment made people feel even more ominous and disgusting.
With the monster exposed, Artoria is ready to attack, and as an "important part" of Artoria's plan, Chen Xiaofeng has also controlled the vector and is ready to leap forward at the right time.
At this moment, the monster's self-awareness seemed to be still immersed in the joy of defeating the fighter. When it discovered the strangeness of the surrounding light, it could no longer make such flexible evasive movements. The giant squirming tentacles did nothing but scream and intimidate.
There is no other way but the radiance of the unknown.
It seems that the time has come.
Artoria poured all her strength into her hands that were gripping the hilt of the sword, and raised the golden sword high.
Light is gathering.
As if illuminating this holy sword was his supreme mission, the light kept condensing towards the sword body, forming a dazzling beam of light.
Under this intense and clear light, Chen Xiaofeng could no longer find words to express his feelings.
The figure of a hero who once illuminated the darkness of troubled times deeper than night.
He fought unyieldingly for ten years and went through twelve wars without defeat.
This glory is unparalleled in the world, and this greatness is incomparable. They transcend time and space and will last forever.
This dazzling sword is exactly the dream that all the heroes who have disappeared on the battlefield throughout the ages have pursued and longed for throughout their lives.
Glory, probably this is how dazzling it is, right?
Taking pride in upholding this will and fulfilling this belief as righteousness, the King of Knights now loudly chanted the true name of the miracle in his hand.
This is Artoria’s Noble Phantasm——
"Oath - Sword of Victory!!!"
The lightsaber came down with the shout.
Light is flowing.
The light is cathartic.
The light is roaring.
The power was accelerated by the unbound magic power and turned into a huge flash of light. The rushing beam of light swept out and stirred up countless whirlpools, swallowing the monster and the thick fog together.
In the instant evaporation of the drink, every component of the demonic giant monster, which was the embodiment of terror, was exposed to the impact of power, and the monster then let out a shrill scream.
The hard body blessed by magic was shrouded.
The light and the sharpness of the sword make the monster's appearance look like peeling plaster on the wall.
The monster's body was chopped open.
Contrary to what was expected, the monster does not seem to be able to recover itself—or rather, it has no chance to recover itself.
With the same lightsaber that can penetrate heaven and earth, Artoria's aura is dozens of times more powerful than Chen Xiaofeng's.
…
Medea quietly watched the scene in the crystal ball, and there was a ripple in the void behind her.
"Thank you for your hard work." Medea said calmly.
But there was no response.
Medea turned around strangely, only to find that there was only a magic book floating quietly in the darkness. Medea couldn't help laughing, "You are really eager to make contributions... The other party is also King Arthur after all, and the zombie is also
You didn’t take action. In the final analysis, you should be thankful that you just returned to your original posture.”
The purple light of the grimoire flickers.
Medea smiled, took the magic book, and ignored it.
Later, Medea turned her realization to the Black Knight in the Dark.
"See, this is the brilliance of Artoria Pendragon."
The Black Knight did not respond, but stared blankly at the aurora emitted by the "Sword of Oath to Victory" in the crystal ball.
"After witnessing that light, aren't you going to acknowledge her?"
The Black Knight snorted and scoffed at Medea's question.
Then, he spoke.
Unlike his appearance, he has a cheerful-sounding male voice.
"It is precisely because she has carried the hopes of the people of the entire era that she can exert such power - it is precisely because it is so dazzling that it is heartbreaking."
In the crystal ball, Arturia's slender body was panting in pain from the fierce death battle that had just ended.
"My king... no, Artoria has too many things on his shoulders, but it is precisely because of this..."
The Black Knight did not continue, and Medea smiled calmly and did not continue to press. In her heart, one thing seemed to be confirmed.
Maybe to them, the war between science and magic is no longer important.
What they want is to put an end to things that have not been completed in previous lives.
"Then, let's start the contract."
Medea opened her lips, and the Black Knight nodded.
…
The thick fog in the air has completely receded, and the brilliance of the sun shines on the earth.
Facing the calm river.
Everything comes and goes quickly.
"Artoria...is it over?"
Arturia, who was resting on his sword, nodded, then stood up slowly: "It's over for now...but..."
He stopped talking melancholy.
"But..." After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke, "Medea is only temporarily resting. For the safety of the master, I think it is better for us to separate."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Xiaofeng accused Artoria without hesitation, "You are me, Chen Xiaofeng's familiar! Isn't it natural for us to be together? Do you think they let it go?
I am the master? Have you forgotten that there may be an existence like Medusa?"
In order to defeat Arturia, I first took the kind of heroic spirit that Chen Xiaofeng opened. Although Medea seems to be a lot friendlier now, this is because she was defeated.
Chen Xiaofeng will never forget the woman who impaled him.
